Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage is rumoured to be over after it was yesterday claimed they were on a “trial separation”.

The Hollywood pair have not been photographed together since August and US websites said they were living separate lives.

It comes after Jada raised eyebrows at a charity event when an audience member claimed she told the crowd: “When you are going through a storm with your spouse... stop thinking about what you ‘believe’ a husband or wife should be.”

The pair have been married for 15 years. A source close to the actors said: “They were considered to have one of the most solid marriages in Hollywood, but lately it hasn’t seemed that way. Things seemed tense for months.”

According to Radar Online, Jada, 42, has now moved into brother Caleeb’s LA home. It said Will, 45, is living in New Orleans while he films movie Focus.

Speculation has been mounting since Jada said in an interview in April that Will “can do ­whatever” he wants. She later said on Facebook: “There are more important things to talk about than whether I have an open marriage.”

She also took children Willow, 12, and Jaden, 15, to Paris without Will and it was reported they had put their home on the market, but a rep denied it.

In 2011, Men in Black star Will and Jada had to defend their marriage over claims she was having a fling with J-Lo’s ex Marc Anthony. The couple’s agents declined to comment.
